Relay for Life

The Team participated in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on Friday and Saturday, April 18-19th at Amherst College. The relay is the 6th annual event for the 5-colleges. Over 1,000 people participated and the event raised over $125,000 for the ACS! Our team of 11 raised $1,600l.

We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather for both Friday and Saturday and everyone had a great time.

Certainly, one of the most poignant was the survivor lap at the beginning of the event. Watching a couple of students participate in that lap certainly puts life and all of it's challenges in perspective!

I hope to post some pictures from the event in the next couple of days.
